Saw the ARC (if picture books can be said to have ARCs) at a publisher's presentation. Very cute, and no one says "Arrr", which is a huge plus after nine billion pirate picture books where no one says much else!

This was a fun, rhyming book, but our princess doesn't have to work to develop any pirating skills. She relies on an inherent talent and that dropped it a bit. That said, the illustrations are clever and I love the pirate captain's bright hair/beard.

Princess Bea wants desperately to be a pirate, but she's terrible at swabbing the deck, cooking the food, and sitting in the crows nest. She's about to walk the plank when she smells gold. While she may not be a perfect pirate the crew tolerates her because of her special skill.
Fun illustrations, great rhymes and cute resolution.

The rhymes were a little much (using words like avast, swarthy, and displeasure). Normally, I like to pause and define a word here and there for the kids, but there's too many in this book and the rhythm is such that it would really detract from the story. I love the idea of a princess giving up the cushy princess life to pursue her dreams, but this might be a bit too convoluted for my preschool story time. I'll use it if I can't find anything better...but there's sure to be better stuff out there.

Fun rhyming story about a princess who is much more interested in piracy than royalty.

The words didn't flow very well and it was a very choppy read.

Rhyming - pretty funny - rule of three
I can't tell on illustration media - it seems lie maybe oil pastel black lines with watercolor color
